After i reset the password successfully, i execute "spicetray_silent.exe" i see the SW running in task manager, when i try http://server:8080 it just sits at "connecting" and then eventually times out.

I tried rebooting the server, still no luck.

Is it possible the password reset hosed my install some how, is there a fix for this?

This usually happens to me when I change the password of the service account used to run Spiceworks. I have to right-click on the icon in the systray an click preferences. There I have to change the password on the account that is used to run as a service. I'm not sure if that's what you are asking but that's what happens here.

Are you running Spiceworks as a service? or as a program that launches on start-up?

I would suggest stopping the task / service on the server then starting the Spiceworks desktop application. Go to settings, set it to run as a service & re-enter your credentials then restart the service.

I tried changing it to running as a service, I enter user-pass and spiceworks gets stuck at "starting server"

have you got the username as:

domainname\username

You may want to start the desktop app & open preferences, stop the service, kill any Spiceworks related tasks then re-enter the credentials & hit OK. Then restart the program again using the desktop tray option. This will start up the program & all required services in the right order.

Still no luck. I think resetting the password hosed the install somehow...

I see the services running in task manager, I just cant connect to the web service. When i tried to start it as a service it got stuck for over 30 minutes before i killed it. Something is causing the web server not to start properly. Is there a way to pull out my cofig, see if it will start, and then try to reload my config?

What password did you change, your domain account that Spiceworks uses, or your Spiceworks community login?

You could also try running a reinstall of the latest version, but dont forget to take a copy of your data & db folders first just to be safe.
